A milestone for St. Clair College.
For the first time in its 51-year history, the college has surpassed 12,000 full time students.
Spokesperson John Fairley says there are currently 12,815 students enrolled at the college's three campuses.
He says that is a 21.6% jump over 2017 enrolment numbers.
"Our international student intake has been higher as well but I think we're getting to the point of being a destination college for those looking for post secondary education," says Fairley.
